Nov^r. 6^th. 1888

My dear Meldola

Many thanks for weighing the seeds. The making use of your extract about deceived[?] butterflies there appears to be a curious mistake — in 10^th line sh[oul]d not "white Pieridae" — be "white Ithomias" — Yet Boisduval gives Lep[talis] Melite as being Black, yel[low] & orange. I cannot make sense of it as it stands so return it for correction.

I am going to Manchester on Tuesday 20th and want to [2] come up on Monday to see Macmillan about book, & shall be glad of a bed that night if quite convenient to Mrs. Meldola.

Thistleton Dyer¹ [sic] gave it to Romanes rather warm!

Yours faithfully| Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
